Meng_Tze:Dont know about JValve... what I do know is that 'getting hard to inhale' should not be a measure of how much gas you have and definitely not be be a surprise.....
How much harder it gets (or not) depends on the regulator. Modern regulators don't get harder to breathe until you're sucking your last couple of breaths. Further, it depends on the first stage design - downstream firsts get harder to breathe as the tank empties but upstream firsts actually get easier.
Bottom line is: relying on breathing resistance is not a good gas management strategy.
